Product Information

Germany has tax treaties with approximately 90 countries to prevent employees from being taxed on the same income by two different countries. HRD Connect is the publishing arm of the company behind the annual HRD Summit – which means you can expect exclusive interviews with top industry names to land in your inbox daily via its newsletter. There are also industry-specific minimum wagesthat often are higher than the national standard minimum wage. Employers that do not comply with the NMW may be subject to a claim for the difference, and a fine of up to €500,000. Subcontractors are also covered under the NMW and can claim against their direct employer and the contracting company. The thought of using an online payroll service may leave you wondering whether it's safe to put all your business's payroll data online. All the online payroll software we review comes from reputable companies with years or even decades of experience behind their tools. You can trust any of them with this critical task. Additionally, using a payroll service has other big advantages over running payroll manually, like greater accuracy and compliance, as mentioned earlier.

MP: Equipment and environment is also important. People had to set up desks and chairs. Some were working on their dining room table, others in studio flats with partners. There have been some really challenging working conditions. Employers – Paying your employees has never been easier than with IRIS. Our range of payroll software for employers makes payroll simple and ensure accurate and timely pay runs. Maternity Leave: The maternity allowance is 18 consecutive weeks (can start two to six weeks prior to the estimated birth date). The salary and insurance contributions of the new mother are usually paid by the Social Insurance Fund and equal 72% of the salary. If the mother is the head of the family, the allowance is 80%, or 90% if the mother has more than one dependent. EH: Is payroll strategy then about analysing the payroll and benchmarking internally and externally? This often already exists in reward, but not all companies have reward teams.

Payroll Strategy

As you generate momentum and bring more payrolls under the scope of the transformation programme, ensure that your communication is engaging the beneficiaries of the programme as well as the unwilling. You should simultaneously pull up the ladders behind as you go so as not to give local teams the opportunities to revert to old ways and habits. The key here is that when a crunch happens, the local payroll teams and management teams know where to go to get support and ensure that support will be available. They will look for opportunities to test the service you are delivering. As part of your business case, there should be additional services that the local management team will benefit from: data insights, costs, compliance, and global mobility advice. Articulate what they can expect over and above what they are getting today. Balancing Global, Local Objectives Once you complete the setup, you generally can't return to the dedicated setup tools, so it's essential to get it right the first time. That said, every service we tested has a comprehensive settings section where you can modify and add to the payroll information you've already entered.

SM: The other side to consider is remote workers. It is difficult not to let the office-based workers dominate the airways and ensure remote workers get to contribute. Often, people will return to work if they want their voices heard.More products for all – Browse our other software and services which help keep accountancy practices on top of their day to day tasks.

Eira Hammond: To me, that is the true value of payroll – understanding how it is done to then automate and give space to deliver an exceptional service. Before I joined Hi Group, I never believed that technology could run payroll. However, I have seen with my own eyes that it is possible. Payroll teams often think, ‘what are we going to do if technology takes our role?’ but using the technology to do the simpler stuff allows payroll to use their skills and experience in more complex areas.
